My 91 year old mother in law is always saying "when I go, just put me in a pine box" The crate pictured was just about the right size, but in the interest of domestic harmony, I resisted temptation and turned it instead into a chimney style cabinet. I painted the inside pale yellow, the outside barn red and then distressed it. Really like the way the finish turned out, but can't seem to get a picture that does it justice, even outside the barn in the natural light.
